Of course, As soon as rules are implemented, they are circumvented. Rules are just restrictions and threats for the little guys, not the big players.

This is only possible where such laws exist to make it possible by superseding NCAA rules, because the NCAA does not allow it.

But either way, it is true that the cap is not actually a "cap", but only the maximum the school can pay directly to kids and all NIL will come in addition to this.

Great, just what we need, more administrative bureaucracy in universities.

I fear BE schools are officially screwed. We cant afford to share $20 mill in revenue on top of NIL

Likely don't need to share 20 mil, because that number includes football. Have to keep up with what the upper tier of basketball schools are spending on NIL. Which may be close to 20 at Duke or Kentucky or whatever but less so at most schools. UConn football may be screwed, though, but that's nothing new.

At this point let's go with the Euro soccer model and open the 'pyramid' up to promotion/relegation and give SEC football teams the opportunity to join the NFL at the expense of the Carolina Panthers

Even if a football school only shares $3 mill of the $20 mill on basketball that’s another ~$250k per player on top of NIL and those schools could easily share more. How much revenue can BE schools share with bball on top of NIL?
